Only a few spots left for a native propagation event with the Northwest Trail Alliance at Rocky Point Trails in the Tualatin Mountain Forest while we learn to propagate native plants along the trail corridor.

Want to help the trails and build a more sustainable future for the Hop, Seth and a Jump trail at Rocky Point? Join us for a native plant propagation event in collaboration with OSU Extension Services, Scappoose Bay Watershed Council, Columbia Soil & Water Conservation District, and West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District. Come roll up your sleeves, learn propagation best practices, and help us plant and learn about the native species we have in the area. The goal of the planting is to frame the trail with native plants, many propagated right on site, to help with erosion, water control, and habitat protection for local birds, pollinators and small animals. One of the most exciting parts is that we will be planting varieties that will specifically help choke out the blackberry bushes, trail builders rejoice! Not to mention, this is likely to be the prettiest trail in the region while in full bloom!

Join NWTA at Rocky Point Trails in the Tualatin Mountain Forest while we learn to propagate native plants along the trail corridor.

Join the Scappoose Bay Watershed Council for a Fall Planting Party on Saturday November 21st from 9 am to 12 pm. We will be meeting in the parking lot of Veterans Park and taking a short walk to our Reach F site which is just north of Veteran's Park (52590 Captain Roger Kucera Way, Scappoose, OR 97056).

We will be planting a variety of native trees and shrubs to complement the initial planting done on this site in 2024/2025. We will provide gloves, tools, and snacks. Just bring yourself and weather appropriate clothing that you don't mind getting dirty.

Registration helps us plan for the amount of plants and tools to bring. We are looking forward to planting with you!
